Extensive nasal turbinate surgery can lead to empty nose syndrome (ENS), causing nasal obstruction and dryness. Early conservative treatment is often effective, but surgical intervention may be considered for severe cases.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Nasal Surgery
  • Patient Outcomes

Context:

  • Empty Nose Syndrome (ENS) is a debilitating condition often resulting from nasal turbinate surgery.
  • Patients experience chronic nasal obstruction, dryness, and psychological distress post-surgery.
  • Understanding ENS is crucial for managing patients who have undergone turbinectomy.

Purpose:

  • To define Empty Nose Syndrome (ENS) and its clinical presentation.
  • To review the management of ENS patients, including conservative and surgical options.
  • To alert Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) surgeons to the potential risks of extensive turbinectomy.

Summary:

  • Retrospective review of 14 ENS patients (age 13-52) who underwent turbinectomy.
  • All patients presented with nasal obstruction and dryness; 5 received surgical implantation for severe symptoms.

  • Conservative treatment was effective for most; surgical outcomes were encouraging short-term.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the risk of secondary nasal mucosal atrophy and ENS after excessive turbinectomy.
    • Emphasizes the need for cautious surgical technique in nasal turbinate procedures.
    • Aims to prevent irreversible nasal cavity damage and improve patient quality of life.
